It was cold. It was snowing. This campground made it all okay! We will be going back. The bathrooms are heated, there is a wash basin, the grounds are clean. There are bison traveling through. We loved it!

We have been traveling for 8 months from Alaska to Ushuaia on our motorcycles and this was the worst camping experience we had on the entire trip. On the good side: The camp spots are very large, the location is very good, the toilets and showes are clean and serviced several times during the day. There's a table and fireplace... More

The location of the Madison Campground was nice and central to the park. The views were nice, but the spaces were too close together. No privacy from your neighbors. Staff were friendly and check-in was smooth.

We stayed here for four days in early June of 2011 and it was a great campground for tent camping. While the south entrance to the park was covered in snow, the Madison campground was clear and warmer. The back loops are set aside for tents, and they were about half-full by the time we arrived around noon on a... More

This campground in Yellowstone was very nice. Near Old Faithful and surrounding area, but a good drive to other parts of the park. Bathrooms were very clean, but no showers. Park rangers patrolled regularly. Saw wild elk pass through campground. Amphitheatre had a great ranger evening program including slides and music. I had my own car and stayed with friends... More

I was surprised (maybe I shouldn't have been, I just didn't think about the seasons in Yellowstone) that at the end of May, very few of the campsites in the Park are open. We were just passing through and wanted to camp one night in the Park. The campsite was pretty nice - cheap and easy to get a spot... More

You really can't go wrong with this campground. Surrounded on 2 sides by mountains, and with the Madison river just to the south, it is set in some very spectacular country. The bathrooms were clean, and the staff was friendly.

We stayed three nights at Madison in mid-September. We had a small trailer so our site was in loop E. The site was nice, the washrooms were very clean and we had no noise issues. The location of the campground is perfect for driving to both Old Faithful and the Norris Basin area. It would also a good launching point... More

We stayed at Madison Campground during August of 2011. We reserved 3 sites and requested that they be together and they were, even though one site was only for one night. The bathrooms were very clean. The river is beautiful but a little farther away than I expected. The campground was in a good location for seeing the park. Some... More

We stopped here for two nights in the middle of a two week trip. We had been staying in more primitive campgrounds, so were worried about staying in a large campground. Our worries were unfounded. We had a beautiful site in one of the tent only loops (can request at reservation) so we had no issues with SUV or generator... More
